[Winpcap-users] Windows networking becomes disabled when colinux runs

[Merrick Berg]

Hello:

I use winpcap on my Windows XP workstation to run colinux. Occasionally 
when colinux operating the Windows network connection drops out. 
Interestingly enough the colinux network connection continues to work. 
Windows networking connectivity can only be restored when colinux is 
shut down.

At first I thought this was because Microsoft sets to 10 the maximum 
number of simultaneous TCP-connections allowed - causing event 4226 in 
the event viewer. Using a registry hack I increased this limitation 
to100 max connections. Error 4226 is gone from my event log, however, 
the problem still occurs.

Has anyone else experienced problems similar to this? It occurs most 
often when the cpu is very busy (i.e. compiling code on colinux) or 
after leaving both OS's continuously running for long periods.

Thanks,
Merrick
